| Course Methodology |
Instruction will follow an interactive lecture style format.
In order to develop an intuitive feel for material behavior,
"hands on" exposure to biomaterial samples and representative
devices will be featured in laboratories.
Three exams will be given in class consisting of short answer
and essay type questions based on the learning objectives
and will be closed book.
The course is supplemented by a set of laboratory exercises
which are designed to illustrate various practical aspects
of biomedical device design, fabrication and testing.
Those taking the course for gradate credit are required to
complete a term project.
